Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita reprimanded for controversial abortion remarks

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has been reprimanded by the state Supreme Court for making comments about an abortion doctor on Fox News. Rokita will receive a public reprimand and pay a fine of $250. The court ruled that Rokita engaged in attorney misconduct by describing Dr. Caitlin Bernard as an "abortion activist acting as a doctor." Chief Justice Lorretta Rush and Justice Christopher Goff dissented, arguing that the discipline was too lenient. Rokita continues to criticize Bernard, stating that his words are factual. This is not the first disciplinary case involving an Indiana attorney general, as former Attorney General Curtis Hill also faced a discipline complaint.
